TRQ brake kits are designed to restore your brake system to like-new performance. TRQ brake pads are positive molded, thermal scorched, chamfered, and utilize a multi-layer shim for enhanced performance and service life. TRQ rotors have a non-directional finish that reduces the break-in period for new rotors as well as reducing vibrations throughout the rotor’s lifecycle. All products are fit and road-tested in our Massachusetts R&D facility to ensure we deliver on our promise of Trusted Reliable Quality.

Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we show you how to replace the front brakes on this 1998 Honda Civic and it's the same part and process on these Civics from '96 to 2005. We show you on the passenger side, but the driver's side is the similar procedure. The items you'll need for this are a new brake pad and rotor kit from 1AAuto.com; 12mm, 17mm, and 19mm sockets and ratchet with a piece of pipe for leverage; a Phillips bit or an impact driver; flat blade screwdriver; wire brush; brake grease; a torque wrench; jack and jack stands; and a large C-clamp.
Start off by removing your wheel. If you don't have the benefit of air tools, you want to loosen the lug nuts with the vehicle on the ground and raise it and secure it with jack and jack stands and remove the lug nuts and the wheel and tire the rest of the way.
To inspect your brakes, you want to check the rotor for any deep gouges. This one has several. Then, you want to check your brake pads and you can check this one here and you can also check them right through here on your caliper.
Now, remove this 12mm bolt right here. Use a flat blade screwdriver and pry the inside brake pad back. That will push the piston and the caliper back so you can lift it out and then pull it back off the slide and just put that up and out of the way. Pull the brake pads off.
Back here, you'll see two 17mm bolts. Just go ahead and remove those and you may need a piece of pipe for some added leverage to help you with this. Once those are removed, your caliper bracket will come right off. There's two Phillips plugs on this rotor and you can use a Phillips bit, but if it doesn't work, if it's too hard to remove them, you may need to use an impact driver like we're using here. Let me just hammer the end of it and turn and you want to remove those two Phillips plugs. Once they're removed, the rotor pulls right off.
On the right, are the old rotor and brake pads. On the left are the new ones from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and the mount exactly the same. Use some mineral spirits or thinner to just clean the packing grease off of your rotor and take some brake grease and put it on the ends of your brake pads. Use a wire brush to just clean off your caliper bracket, primarily where the brake pads fit in.
Put an old brake pad in front of the caliper piston and use a C-clamp and just push that brake pad in and this will reset that caliper piston. Slide your new rotor in place and we'll fast forward as Don replaces those two Phillips plugs and put your caliper bracket into place and replace those two 17mm bolts that hold it. You want to torque these bolts to 85 foot-pounds.
Apply some brake grease to the slide and put your brake pads into place. Pull your caliper down and put it into place to slide it on the slide and push it down and replace that lower slide bolt.
We'll just fast forward as he tightens that up nice and firm and then replace your wheel and your wheel cover and then the four lug nuts. You want to tighten them preliminarily. Lower the vehicle and then tighten them the rest of the way and then torque each of them in a crossing pattern to 100 foot-pounds.
Before taking the vehicle out on the road, you want to first pump the brakes until they firm up and then do a stopping test from five miles per hour and then ten miles per hour.
